Cape Weed - control the old fashioned way?
"Roberta Bagshaw" wrote in message
Your post reminded me of a conversation that I had recently with my elderly neighbour Val who is a very keen gardener, Val remembered that years ago (pre-herbicide days) the easy way to rid yourself of many weeds was to apply a strong dose of Sulphate of Ammonia which literally burned the weed by an overapplication of nitrogen. She applied it to her plague of clover and got rid of it! It is certainly a cheap (and relatively safe) solution. Sulphate of Ammonia is a good product to use BUT it can't solve this particular problem. Cape Weed is one weed that it will not work on although it will work on other broadleaf plants such as plantain and dandelion and also it can't be used at this time of year. It must be used in Spring (as do most of the other products) which must be used on actively growing weeds. |
